nettles (miserable demo)

We were in a race to grow up
Yesterday, through today, till tomorrow
But when the plant blew up
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
But not till daylight (not till daylight), not till daylight (not till daylight)
Time passes slower in the flicker of a hospital light
I pray the race is worth the fight
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee street
It wasn't pretty like the movies
It was ugly, like what they all did to me
And they did to me what I wouldn’t do to anyone
You know that’s for sure

Tell me all the time not to worry
And think of all the time I'll, I'll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own (wake up on my own), wake up on my own
Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you

I dreamt the earth broke open
And the beast crawled out
Snuck into bed with me
And left with you in its mouth
Then it was I, left screaming
I weep for you
I weep for you, oh

I only like my body
When it's closely with your body
Lay in you gently
Like greenery
That stings me
Softly hurting

Tell me all the time (tell me all the time) not to worry (not to worry)
And think of all the time I'll, I'll have with you
When we won't wake up on our own (wake up on our own), wake up on our own
Held close all the time, knowin' I'm half of you
Think of us inside (think of us inside), after the wedding (after the wedding)
Sufferin' the while to lie a time or two
When we don't wake up on our own (wake up on our own), wake up on our own
Held close all the time, knowin' (knowin')
It was all for you
